Hi everyone! I've been a long time Hubpages user and helper on the forums, HubGreeting Elite, and various other community driven activities on hubpages. While I have published well over 100 articles here I have done-so way before google changes. In order to restore my traffic I have to raise the quality and start fresh. I will be culling about 80% of my content and decide to re-write them with even more features and detailed information or to retire them for good. Its a lot of incoming work, and I might just need a fresh start!

I am scared about erasing my prior successes, but I should not let that limit me from future successes. Its a new world since 2008 when I started my journey here - and I can't remain static to these changes.
